While I just posted my update, and am letting that sink in, I wanted to take a minute to talk about what happened on Sunday, while we were at church, because I think it is an important part of our story.
Last week, a woman from church and I went out to breakfast together and got to know one another a little bit. I enjoyed her company very much and looked forward to seeing her Sunday. While everyone was applauding the standing Fathers during their annual tribute, my poor husband, seated next to me was getting choked up and my heart broke in two. I rested my head on his soon to be soggy shoulder and cried for all that we have been through. It did not go unnoticed by many in the service that day.
I noticed a young woman sitting close by who had her head, down and was crying harder than I was. I later found out she is in the midst of her parents divorcing and my heart cried for her, too.
My new friend and her husband came up to M. and I after church was ended, and asked if they could pray for us. We accepted and our heavy hearts were lifted somewhat by their stronger shoulders and we are so grateful to them. My friend told us that many noticed our sadness and wanted to pray for us as well.
I do not believe that it was coincidental that the "situation" we were presented with last night and I hope and pray with all my might that I am right.
